It's coming?

Well, the miscarriage may be on the way, but I'm not entirely sure. (**Warning, this is a TMI post!**)


I awoke at 6am this morning with an extreme urge to go to the washroom.  I think I awoke to some sort of uterine contraction.  I have never had that feeling before but it felt like my insides were being wrung out.  I could hardly stand, or sit... I just felt hugely uncomfortable.  It felt like I had to pee, but nothing happened.  After a few minutes, a HUGE wave of nauseau washed over me and I broke into a cold sweat.  Like my shirt got drenched!  Finally I was able to go to the washroom and emptied everything.  There was no bleeding.  It was just like the contraction expelled everything else surrounding my uterus.  After a while, I was able to lie down again and things seemed to calm down.  I even caught a little bit more sleep.

When it was time for me to get up for work, I felt alright.  I felt a bit shaky and scared, but I managed to shower and get ready and everything was fine.  I had an important meeting at work so I decided to go for the morning and then see how I'm doing.  Well, it's 10:00am and I haven't had any bleeding/spotting yet.  I don't really know what that episode this morning was all about.  My abdomen feels really full/bloated, like I'm about to get my period.  I think the bleeding will start soon but there are no other signs.  I've had to pee a million times this morning, but that's about it. 

Anyone else experienced anything like this?  I just wish I knew when it was going to start, and what it would be like at the beginning.  I know it's different for everybody, but this uncertainty is killing me.

(UPDATE: It's noon and I'm on lunch break and feel fine.  Guess it was a false warning for now.)

  1. Both of my natural miscarriages started with spotting, but I knew when I was going to pass the baby because I felt very much how you felt above (except I also had very painful uterine contractions).

    Thinking of you.

  2. The first sign that I was miscarrying, outside of the spotting, was the pain. I remember putting my hand on my abdomen and being amazed at how much it hurt just to touch it.

    I very sorry you are going through this. Sending love.
